The Tipping Point (23)

Title: The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
Author: Malcolm Gladwell
Genre: Non-Fiction

Will any of the information from the book ever be useful to me in either my business or personal life? I'm uncertain. That's ok though because the information in this book is totally interesting and that alone makes it worth knowing.

Really fascinating stuff including a lot of info and history on the children's televisions programs Sesame Street and Blue's Clues. Most interesting perhaps though was the stuff about the Broken Windows Theory as applied to NY subways and crime in NY in general.

The book can be a little dry in parts but it's very well worth it if you can stick with it for the whole thing.
